Review summary

Going in January the weather is hit or miss, we missed. Although it was cold on the cruise it was much colder at home. With that said we had a wonderful time as always on the Pride. We had one good worm night for the dive in movies. Food and entertainment was great. Going back again in May. Love the Pride !!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
main dining room had great food and even better service. Buffets were very good except the deli. Deli went from deli to premade and wormed over sandwiches. My sandwich was just bad.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Casino was very nice, but being a none smoker I just couldn't tolerate the bad smoky air.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All the stage shows, comedy shows, and entertainment in the atrium were very very good. Dr E was just the best. Loved the dive in movies, one night the weather was just perfect for the movies.

Children's Programs

Just the wife and I this trip.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
In the main dining room we used the anytime dining, but we as for the same waiter Celso and his team every night. They were very good,. Are room steward Jefferson was one of the best. All the staff on the ship were very friendly always smiling. No problems at all with any one there.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Pride is an older ship, but it is a very beautiful. The design and lay out of the ship is just about perfect. The ship was very clean and well maintained. It's a wonderful cruise ship, not the county fair at sea.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was very clean, standard size. The balcony was very large much larger than the extended balcony. The weather was very cold so we really didn't get much use out of it.

Ship tip

Just do what you want to do. Had a friend who spent most of his time setting on his balcony watching the ocean go by, he loved it.

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

5 out of 5
The port is 45 minutes from our house. Very easy to drive to and park.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Always loved Princess Cay, this time the water was just a little to cold to swim. Besides that it was great.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Went by water taxi over to atlantis it was a nice afternoon. Walked out of the casino a winner.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

5 out of 5
It was a little cold so we just stayed at the port. Did a little shopping.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We are platium card holders. So it was so easy just walked off, before everyone else.

Just looked we’re on the same cruise in May !! We usually sail in the winter so I’m excited for hopefully a warm sail out ! We’ll see. I’m from MD and I know May can swing both hot and cold.

deli still makes a few sandwiches but not the one I wanted

We were on her last year and are going again in May, also. You mean the deli won't make custom sandwiches? Bummer! Can you still get cold cuts at the buffet and make your own?
